Copper's warm glow defines the blade of this size 5 Mepps Aglia, a classic spinner that has stood the test of time since its French origins in 1938. Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g) and measuring 3 1/4" (8cm), this specimen is a substantial choice for targeting larger predators like pike, walleyes, and big bass. The blade is clearly stamped with "Mepps Aglia 5 Made in USA," reflecting the era when French components were assembled in Wisconsin. Four stacked yellow and orange beads provide a bold visual contrast against the metallic shine. The treble hook is dressed with natural squirrel and deer hair in shades of brown and black, accented by red turkey-quill feathers. A wide blade shape enables quick rotation during retrieval, utilizing a cone system to maintain movement in various currents. This specific item, identified by product code 1754, retains a 4/5 condition rating, showing only gentle signs of use that speak to its history. Red thread wraps the feathered tail securely, completing the traditional look of the world's most famous spinner.
